Answer:

B net income is overstated, assets are overstated, and stockholders' equity is overstated

Explanation:

The movement in the balance of inventory at the start and end of a period is as a result of sales and purchases. While sales reduces the balance in inventory, purchases increases the balance. This may be expressed mathematically as

Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = closing balance

Hence, where ending inventory balance is overstated, cost of goods sold is understated. When cost of goods sold is understated, gross and net incomes are overstated. Hence owner's equity is overstated and asset overstated.

The disadvantage of owning a mutual fund that invests in common stocks is the risk of loss of ___.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

"Principal" Since the value of common stock could decline to zero, investors do carry the risk of losing their entire principal. That risk is greatly reduced when investing in bonds, because if you hold a bond to its maturity date, you will at least get back the par value ($1000) of the bond.

Hope this helps :) -Mark Brainiest Please :)
